Since the beginning, MMB conferences are highly focused and interactive meetings, that gather people that want to do biology using microtechnologies. Therefore, the conference format was chosen to foster these interactions.

The MMB 2009 Conference is comprised of 8 Keynote Presentations. We are currently accepting abstracts for the contributed portion of this conference. Please view the Abstract Classification List for the fields in which we are seeking papers.

The contributed presentation format for the MMB 2009 Conference is in flash oral/poster format only. Authors are required to give a "Flash" 90 second presentation of their poster to the general audience of the conference the morning before their corresponding poster session.

Flash presentations consist of a maximum of two (2) Power Point slides that should draw the attention of the attendees and motivate them to visit your poster during the Poster Session.

This is mandatory. Please complete the online abstract submission form by providing us with your contact information and this will generate your a four-digit abstract reference number. The Abstract Reference Number will appear on the next screen upon completion and submission of this form, as well as sent to you in a confirmation e-mail. Please note that only the corresponding author will receive e-mails concerning the status and is thus responsible for informing all co-authors of the status of the abstract.
